Abstract

In these days of economic globalization, the power held by MNEs is increasing continually, which can even determine the stability of the world economic and the welfare of the whole society. As a major group of employers, the decisions and actions of MNEs affect the welfare of billions of workers. Especially under the COVID-19 pandemic, whether MNEs are under the obligations to further protect the rights and interests of workers constitutes a concerned issue. This paper uses case study with the perspective of comparative law, probing into the legal basis, existing problems and development suggestions of MNEs to assume the responsibility of labor protection under the background of epidemic, and finally puts forward some suggestions for perfecting the legal system of labor protection from three aspects: the perfection of the subject, the legislative reform and the expansion of the connotation of responsibility.
